Emus are too small--even the biggest weigh less than me--but ostriches might work, especially with selective breeding. Although emus would have an advantage in that they would terrify anyone riding against them--they are really ugly birds.
An ostrich messenger service could be very amusing. I think that in actual fact ostriches are probably slower the horses, but the advertisements could focus on the fact that they're BIRDS which are naturally fast (and possibly mislead people by having the ostriches fly on their advertisements). It could be fun.
